Once upon a time, there was a cold-hearted lord who lived with his servants in his large castle. He never let anyone in, and rarely helped his people in the town nearby. One dark, stormy night, a young girl came to his door asking for shelter for the night. The lord cruely turned her away. Offering another chance, the girl once again asked. Again, the lord refused. Suddenly, the girl revealed herself as a sorceress. Pointing at the lord, she cast a spell on him and his servants, a curse for his cruelty. His servants became the furniture, dishes, tools, and every other object of the castle. But the lord had a far worse curse. If he didn't learn to love, he would be alone for the rest of his life. For years, no one approached the castle, thinking the lord dead. But that all changed one day, with a girl who was just a bit different.
